Hello lovelies! I’m super excited to be able to offer this giveaway as it was on my list of 18 anticipated novels for 2015! The title is Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone and it’s a contemporary YA about a popular girl with OCD who fights really, really hard to hide it and whose life changes when she attends a secret poetry club. It’s coming up soon on my reading list and, thanks to Disney, I’m able to offer one lucky reader a copy!
If this one isn’t on your radar, check out the official summary:
If you could read my mind, you wouldn’t be smiling.
Samantha McAllister looks just like the rest of the popular girls in her junior class. But hidden beneath the straightened hair and expertly applied makeup is a secret that her friends would never understand: Sam has Purely-Obsessional OCD and is consumed by a stream of dark thoughts and worries that she can’t turn off.
Second-guessing every move, thought, and word makes daily life a struggle, and it doesn’t help that her lifelong friends will turn toxic at the first sign of a wrong outfit, wrong lunch, or wrong crush. Yet Sam knows she’d be truly crazy to leave the protection of the most popular girls in school. So when Sam meets Caroline, she has to keep her new friend with a refreshing sense of humor and no style a secret, right up there with Sam’s weekly visits to her psychiatrist.
Caroline introduces Sam to Poet’s Corner, a hidden room and a tight-knit group of misfits who have been ignored by the school at large. Sam is drawn to them immediately, especially a guitar-playing guy with a talent for verse, and starts to discover a whole new side of herself. Slowly, she begins to feel more “normal” than she ever has as part of the popular crowd . . . until she finds a new reason to question her sanity and all she holds dear.

I really want to read The Cage by Megan Shepherd as I loved The Madman’s Daughter series and this books looks so interesting. Of course it is a series so I will be drawn in again but this sounds so wonderful, “their captors aren’t from Earth. And they have taken the five teenagers for an otherworldly zoo—where the exhibits are humans.”

Thanks for the giveaway! There have been so many great 2015 releases, but All The Rage was one of my most anticipated reads, and it MORE than lived up to expectations. I still can’t stop thinking about it. I wish I could convince everyone I know to read it.

What an amazing giveaway!
I read Time Between Us on my Kindle a couple years ago and was blown away. I’ve been wanting to read more from her ever since. Every Last Word is one of my most anticipated releases of the year!
All Fall Down by Ally Carter. Ally Carter is one of my favorite authors and her newest book was definitely worth the wait!
